ASTONISHING sUCcEss.-Itis the

ASTONISHING SUCCESS. Iii is the
duty of every person who has used
Boschee's German Syrup to let its won
derful qualities be known to their friends
in curing Consumption, severe Coughs,
Group, Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact
all throat and lung diseases. Noperson
can use it without immediate relief.
Three doses will relieve any case, and
we consider it the duty of all Druggists
to recommend it to the poor, dying con-
sumptive, at least to try one bottle, as
80, 900 dozen bottles were sold last year,
and no one case where it failed was re-
ported. Such medicine as the German
Syrup cannot be too widely known.
Ask your druggist about it. Sample
bottles to try, sold at 10 cents. Regular
size, 70 cents. Sold by all Druggists

SECTION XIII.-FRONI vICKSBURG TO
NEW ORLEANS.

The campaign of less than three months
duration that ended with the fall of Vicks-
burg, July 4, 1868, was the most brilliant
and successful of the war, and in many re-
spects one Of the most remarkable achieve
ments in modern military history.
Grant, when he landed at Bruins burg,
Miss, just below Grand Gulf, and some
seventy miles below Vicksburg, bad but
twenty thousand men Immediately with
him. Yet with this small force he adj
vanced boldly into the heart of the enemy's
country, and by so doing put Vicksburg
ard hostile army Of sixty thousand men
between his own little army and the North.
True, Grant received an accession of
from ten to twenty thousand men as the
campaign progressed, but meantime Gen
eral Joseph L. Johnston, one OF the best OF
Confederate commanders, had assumed
control of the territory threatened, and
with headquarters at jackson, Miss. was
harrassing the invading army from the
east and northeast, while at the same time
Pemberton was striving to do likewise
from the west and northwest.
A junction of these forces Immediately
north of Grant would perhaps have been
fatal to the campaign, and very likely have
seriously compromised the safety Of the

minister on either side, walked with totter-
ing steps to the place OF execution; here
he was seated and bound in a chair beside
which stood an open coffin.
Meantime a file of soldiers with guns
lightly charged took their places in his
front and at the word of command drew
mn their pieces. took aim and fired with
fatal results to the criminal. This was the
only military execution the writer was
cognizant of during the more than three
years service in the army.
About the middle OF September the reg
mental hospital tents were moved a short
distance and put up under some graceful
liveoak trees. These have beautiful foli-
age and frequently, near the ground, divide
into several branches that are spreading
in character.
The month of September was passed
quietly and lazily in camp, rumors how
ever were rife of what was going to be
done. Early in October the regiment was
ordered TO take boat for Algiers, about
ten miles down the river.
This order was obeyed one beautiful
Sabbath day, on the calm evening of which
the regiment found itself at the wharf Of
the place designated.
SECTION xIy.-IN THE TECHE COUN-
TRY-LOUISIANA.
Before the war, what was known as the
New Orleans, Opelousas & Western rail-
road was completed from Algiers on the
Mississippi opposite New Orleans, to Bra
shear City, eighty miles west OF the former
place.
The railway was projected further west
however, through a rich and beautiful sec
ton lying on Bayou Teche, known as the
Teche country.
Here, from all the fertile lands tributary
to Bayou Teche, was produced vast quanti-
ties of sugar till the breaking out OF the
war paralyzed this industry.
From the inception of the rebellion TIL
the beginning of 1868, this fertile region
was held by the Confederates.
About the middle of January, 1868, Gen.
eral Weitzel led an expedition from Bra
shear City into the Tcche country. He was
accompanied by squadron OF gunboats
under Commodore Buchanan Near Pat

of March 25, Colonel Charles r. Ellet with
the Switzerland and Lieutenant-Col
John A. Ellet with the Lancaster, ran the

The Switzerland was destroyed but most
of her crew escaped on cotton bales. The
Lancaster succeeded in passing, but in a
much damaged condition.

But this junction Grant prevented by
prompt and decisive movements. McPher-
son, the second week in May, met and de-
feated a portion of Johnston's army at
Raymond, Miss, eighteen miles east of
Jackson, and two or three days later, por-
tions of the Fifteenth and Seventeenth
corps defeated Johnston and drove him
from his base at jackson, Miss.
Then facing about to the west Grant met
Pemberton with large Confederate force
in strong position at Champions Hill,
May Is. The position was well chosen,
aud was about half way between jackson
and Vcksburg and Just south of the rail-
way that connected the two places.

A WASTE OF MONEY.
How the New Insane Hospital Buildings Are
Likely to Suffer from Not Being Used.

gentleman said yesterday that it was a
great waste of money to build the three new
insane hospitals at the same time. cit would
have been better" he continued, "had one been
completed, equipped and occupied before work
on another was undertaken. The three are
ready for occupancy, but where is the money to
come from to maintain theml In the meantime
the property is being injured by being time
worn Take the Richmond building, for ex-
ample. When the feeble-minded children were
removed there every pump and coil connected
with the steam-heating apparatus had to be over
hauled for even in the short time since the COM
pletion of the building rust had done a great
deal of damage. The apparatus in each of these
buildings cost from $40 600 to $50, 900, and if it
remains much longer in disuse it will be worth
less. Large sums of money were expended in
each of these buildings without actually com
plotting them mean that considerable is to be
done in the way of little things to make them
perfectly convenient The sanitary arrange
mentS at Richmond are not the best, as the
shortness of funds stopped work in the sewer,
which it was designed to extend to the creek
1t now empties its contents in the field about
300 yards from the stream. A better site, /
think. could have been chosen at Richmond.
The place is almost wholly bare of trees and
lawn and it will take large amount of money
to make the grounds attractive. There is
another thing in which a mistake has been
made. Each building of the three has farm
of considerable extent, but the three farms have
been rented by the year, so if the Evansville
and Logansport hospitals occupied soon the
institutions will be deprived of the of the
lands until the leases expire. AT Richmond this
is more seriously felt, many of the inmates
of the school for the Predetermined could be
taught farm labor if this land could be used"
